Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms of Use at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Terms of Use, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms of Use to stay informed of updates.

Any user of TrucksOnTheMap is liable for handling the legal relationship between the parties and to close relevant contracts outside of the terms of Use for TrucksOnTheMap. As a general role, however, based on the C.M.R. terms (C.M.R. is short for the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road, which was ratified in the United Kingdom by the Carriage of Goods by Road Act 1965 and came into force in 1967.), carriers are liable for the total or partial loss of the goods and for any damage occurring between the time when they take over the goods and the time of delivery as well as for any delay in delivery. There is a financial limit to the haulier’s liability which is expressed in terms of “special drawing rights” (S.D.R.s). The liability is 8.33 S.D.R.s per kilogram of weight and the value of and S.D.R. changes on a daily basis. In recent times the limit has varied between £6,000 and £8,000 per tonne. This marks a substantial increase from domestic conditions of carriage – compare R.H.A liability at £1,300 per tonne. In addition a haulier is liable for delay but this is limited to the carriage charges. There is further liability for refund of the carriage charges, customs duties and other charges incurred.

Subject of the service

TrucksOnTheMap is the trucks-capacity-map and by-user-approved professional network.

TrucksOnTheMap is unique in forecasting truck availability. TrucksOnTheMap visualizes empty freight truck availability on an online map, within an exclusive group of your approved partners. 

The basic modules of the TrucksOnTheMap platform:

Partners - Your partners’ network is the most valuable asset on TrucksOnTheMap. There is a management approval process of all invited partners, that makes the platform exclusive and most secure for trading. Your linked teams can search for available trucks of your approved partner network. TrucksOnTheMap users can set-up their partner network in the same structure as it is in real-life. You can invite partners as a “Customer”, “Sub-contractor” or “Standard colleague”. The roles “Customer” and “Sub-contractor” might be combined, while “Standard colleague” is an excluding role.

Trucks - With the TrucksOnTheMap freight forwarder platform users can manage partners, sub-contracted as well as own (or dedicated) fleets and jobs on one place.

Jobs – On the freight forwarder platform you can choose from “Contracted job allocation” or run two types of micro-tendering for freight orders: “Bidding” or “Spot quoting”.   “Contracted job allocation” means an automated job creation and allocation process. In the “Bidding” you publish a freight job to all your sub-contractors for freight rate bidding. In “Spot quoting” you can select the available tucks in the loading area and request your providers for quotations. In the “Spot quoting” process you can book the closest possible, available truck at the best rate. You’ll secure capacity at the same time turn empty miles into profit.

TrucksVisibility including the TrucksOnTheMap Driver Mobile APP - Using the TrucksVisibility users can track-and-trace their allocated transport jobs real-time on the same online map, that is used for truck forecasting. The TrucksVisibility module comes with a Driver Mobile App as a turn-key tracking solution.

MessageWall - Read news and post your content on the TrucksOnTheMap MessageWall. It is a professional community. 

Implementation

TrucksOnTheMap is an entirely online platform. The user registration (including company registration) happens on the https://trucksonthemap.com/ website. After registration, the user receives his access data (user name and password) and a user manual in a separate e-mail. 

The TrucksOnTheMap platform is easy-to-implement and intuitive-to-use. The platform can be extended to your partners by either sending built-in e-mail invitations to new users or request for connection to TrucksOnTheMap users.

If requested by the Customer, TrucksOnTheMap Team provides assisted implementation of the TrucksOnTheMap platform. This Service includes user registration, integration of partners and user training.
